Long long day. I got up and went first to the Natural History Museum. Besides the fact that the building itself is really really cool, all the stuff throughout it is really interesting. Although I have to say that the marine room at the Natural History Museum in NYC is much better than the one here. One of the coolest things I saw was a series of naturally colored diamonds. I had no idea they existed in so many colors, or that some of them glow under a blackligh...

I woke up today and did some grocery shopping - hoping that what I bought will hold me over until the end (with some nights eating out). Then I went to the British Museum. This place is overwhelming.

It was at a greek restaurant, we had a separate room, and they just kept bringing us little dishes of lots of greek food which I don't know/remember the names of but they were delicious nonetheless. It was nice to spend some time with the other kids who I've only seen briefly throughout the semester. We ...
